This book highlights the business case for reducing gas flaring and methane emissions (FMR), offering a framework for policymakers to evaluate FMR project feasibility and financial viability. It explores investment barriers, identifies key success factors, and presents simplified financial models. Focusing on midsized flares, which make up 58% of global flare volumes, the book addresses the challenges of monetizing smaller FMR projects, especially without regulatory support. Large-scale capture projects require significant investment and infrastructure. Six case studies provide practical insights for overcoming these challenges. This resource is particularly useful for policymakers, oil and gas companies, investors, and project developers looking for guidance on assessing, financing, and implementing effective FMR projects.
